My self and 4 other friends are very seasoned and honest archery hunters looking for a place in Western South Dakota to hunt Antelope this year. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Try Liberty Belle, Harding County SD. She might have had a change of heart towards hunters.

Now that's just mean BMR-where exactly are you guys thinking of hunting-I can ask some friends I have down there for you. Why not try Wyoming I'm pretty sure I could get you permission in around Kaycee-there's a ton of turbo goats down there.

Sorry, I've been too busy to read anything on here lately, but I suggest you talk to GF&P about hunting the walk in areas. There's antelope everywhere and you won't have any trouble filling your tags.

The hunting lockout on a lot of private land is still in effect and will be until we get protection of private property rights written into state law, but that won't be a problem for you if you stay on public land and the walk in areas.

We were down southeast of Ekalaka quite a few years ago and saw this sign on a gate.

"No Pheasants. No Pheasant Hunting. Don't Ask.
Come back antelope season.
Lots of them sonsabitches." Shocked

You sure won't have a problem finding landowners that will let
you hunt antelope!!!

I havnt lived with antelope but I have hunted them. Im no antelope expert.
Why dont land owners like antelope? I thought they only brows on sage brush, etc?

They are terrible on fences-- A herd of them will hit a fence going 30 mph and just send wire and staples going every direction- or even if they hit it slow and crawl thru they roll the wires together...

We dont have antelope where I live. When I hunted them I was down on the Ross Ranch down in the SE next to the MT border.
Whats the deal with them tearing down the fences? There so small I would not have thought them to be a problem. What happens? They get chased or running to fast and just pile through the wire?
